Plant description
The colourful, strap-shaped foliage of this new phormium is a luscious blend of warm apricot-pink and greyish green, and forms an attractive, fountain-like clump. This combination of bright foliage and good form makes it a very eye-catching specimen, so it can be used as a stunning focal point in mixed planting schemes. It will also dazzle when potted up and placed on the patio - and the sprays of summer flowers are a bonus!
